WIC in Vermont

Welcome to Vermont WIC

Ensuring good nutrition for pregnant women,
new mothers,
infants & young children

WIC helps pregnant women, new mothers, and young children eat well, learn about nutrition and stay healthy. WIC is the Federal "Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.”

Our goal is to help you and your family be healthy and thrive. WIC offers nutrition information, breastfeeding support, and nutritious foods to thousands of women, infants and children every year. When you choose WIC for your family, you’ll get the support you need to give your child the best possible start in life.

WIC is designed to serve income-eligible pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding or who have a new baby, infants and children up to age 5.

Pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to age 5 can be eligible
for WIC if their household income is less than $849 per week for a family of
four. Woman and children must be residents of Vermont, and meet income and health or nutrition guidelines to be eligible for WIC. Fathers, grandparents and foster parents may apply for children who are in their care.
